Synopsis "book of hours: an illuminated manuscript (in English)"
photos / poems / healing. Jay Heins is an accidental poet. Heins' debut poetry collection, book of hours, gently asks you to consider both small miracles and large tragedies.Inspired by medieval Christian illuminated manuscripts, Heins adapts a practice of pairing poetry with visual art into a nature-based secular kind of worship. These unconventional prayers are a devotional practice of gratitude juxtaposed with grief, meditations on how death informs life. Consider the lilac bushes taking over the cemetery. The "hills / that unzipped green / only yesterday" set against the doors of the chemo ward. Heins' poetry sketches the beauty and pain when "time removes the guardrails." Always returning to nature for solace, with a focus on the cyclical, book of hours reminds us that "time stops; yet / I am moving / and the river flows."-:: -how to cook a poemtake one inconsequential eventlatch on by imaginationadd a sequence of imagesimbue with symbolic meaningmarinate in a fugue statewinnow the grainbuild up in layersclarify and distilldraw out the essencecrystallize a gem, a jewelmeta amuse-gueleconsomme of new experiencethis inconsequential thingthat exists onlyfor its own pleasure-:: -
